I use an outdoor just for better reception.

But you can use an indoor if you get a good enough signal.

No you don't. Just find a digital TV antenna. I'm using the $35.00 Crest LS2000 indoor TV antenna from Big W and that works great providing you have the antenna mounted above the TV on a bookshelf or the TV cabinet itself.

It really depends where you live and on the strength of the local signal.
Up here in the hills, on the wrong side of one as well, I'm having some problems even with an outside antenna.
The weather makes some difference, too.
